Stellar Transformation-Chapter 501: Episode 15 - 10 Help

Qin Yu was filled with surprise the moment he saw Xing Yuan.

There were so many villages outside Wei Chi City, and he hadn’t expected that they would be assigned together, yet in these three hundred years in the village, they had never once encountered each other. Qin Yu understood that it was mainly because he seldom went out, spending most of his time studying "Array Dao" in the second layer of space in Jiang Lan Realm.

"Xing Yuan, you know Qin Yu and his three brothers too?" Li Liao said in surprise.

Qin Yu and the others all knew Li Liao, who was the kind of person who could strike up a conversation with anyone.

"Qin Yu?" Xing Yuan was slightly surprised.

Qin Yu smiled and said, "Brother Xing Yuan, actually I have two names. While in Immortal Realm, Demon World, and Demon World, I call myself ’Qin Yu,’ but in Dark Star Realm, I go by Liu Xing, so from now on you can just call me Qin Yu."

"So that’s how it is." Xing Yuan nodded.

Until today, Xing Yuan had never suspected Qin Yu’s identity, thinking that Qin Yu had made up this name while adventuring in places like the Immortal Realm and Demon World.

"Brother Xing Yuan, let me introduce, this is my second brother, Hou Fei, and this is my third brother, Hei Yu." Seeing Xing Yuan, Qin Yu was also in a great mood, and Hou Fei and Hei Yu both smiled and bowed.

Xing Yuan also managed a slight smile and returned the gesture.

Qin Yu had felt that something was troubling Xing Yuan when he first saw him, and now he felt it even more strongly, so he immediately asked, "Brother Xing Yuan, it seems you have something on your mind."

"Xing Yuan, look." Li Liao suddenly said, pointing in the distance.

They saw a middle-aged couple walking towards the village chief’s house with a young woman in purple. Xing Yuan’s gaze immediately locked onto the girl in purple, and he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

"Big Brother, it seems that Xing Yuan is taken with that girl," Hou Fei whispered playfully beside Qin Yu.

Qin Yu and Hei Yu also had smiles on their faces.

"Brother Xing Yuan, I didn’t expect that in such a short time after ascending to Divine World, our Dark Star Realm’s Golden Punishment Monarch has found a woman he loves, we should congratulate you, hehe..." Qin Yu joked.

Contrary to what Qin Yu expected, Xing Yuan sighed heavily, "Golden Punishment Monarch? In Divine World, any status from the Lower Realm is useless."

Qin Yu nodded in understanding, "The experts in Divine World include those who have grown up there and those who have ascended from Lower Realm. In cosmic spaces like Immortal, Demon, and Demon World, there are tens of thousands. Status from Lower Realm truly counts for nothing."

"But Brother Xing Yuan, if you like that girl, why the sigh?" Qin Yu curiously asked.

Li Liao also shook his head, and Xing Yuan, shaking his head with a sigh, said, "I’m ashamed to say, but it all started on my first day in Fu Jue Village, that’s when I first met her..."

...

"Zi Yun and I have a mutual interest, but her parents’ demands, you know my difficulties." Xing Yuan’s face was filled with a bitter expression.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei, and Hei Yu exchanged glances.

The mighty Golden Punishment Monarch of Dark Star Realm, yet troubled to such an extent over two million Low Grade Divine Spiritual Stones.

"Xing Yuan, leave this matter to me," Qin Yu transmitted directly via Divine Sense.

Xing Yuan, hearing the voice in his mind, was astounded and looked at Qin Yu. In Divine World, to transmit by Divine Sense, one must at least be able to project one’s Divine Sense outside the body, something only an Intermediate Divine Being could achieve.

Qin Yu had only ascended after him and it had been barely a thousand years, how had Qin Yu reached Intermediate Divine Being?

Xing Yuan completely unaware, Qin Yu’s Soul Realm was not that of an Intermediate Divine Being, but that of an Upper Level Divine Being.

"Xing Yuan, don’t be surprised. A house in Wei Chi City, good, once the taxation is over, I will go with you to Wei Chi City and buy a house, how about that?" Qin Yu continued via Divine Sense.

Xing Yuan could not transmit by Divine Sense, he could only nod in gratitude.

Yet, Xing Yuan was also puzzled in his heart, why Liu Xing (Qin Yu) could afford such a hefty sum of two million Low Grade Divine Spiritual Stones?

*******

Outside the manor of the village chief of Fu Jue Village, there were now no less than ten thousand people gathered, and who would dare not come when the people from Black Dragon Pond were collecting taxes?

When Qin Yu and the others arrived, they also noticed thirty men in Battle Armor standing at the forefront; the young man leading them had a particularly piercing gaze as he observed the surrounding people.

"Everyone, as before, all who have passed Divine Tribulation must pay taxes. Fifteen hundred blocks of Low Grade Divine Spiritual Stones per person per thousand years. Come one by one," the young man announced loudly.

Following that, one by one the villagers stepped up; as each person paid, the young man with a flip of his hand accepted it.

"Storage Divine Artifact." Witnessing this scene, Qin Yu was internally surprised, "Even a subordinate of Black Dragon Pond has a ’Storage Divine Artifact’—Black Dragon Pond is truly formidable."

What Qin Yu did not know was that although Black Dragon Pond’s influence was immense, Storage Divine Artifacts were also scarce, and only the batch assigned to collect taxes had the privilege to use them temporarily. After the task, they had to be returned.

"Big Brother, look." Hou Fei pulled Qin Yu by the shoulder. Following the direction indicated by Hou Fei, Qin Yu saw Zi Yun and Xing Yuan being very affectionate together. Qin Yu couldn’t help but smile.

One by one, they went up to pay their taxes.

Zi Yun and Xing Yuan also walked up one after the other.

"Sister Zi Yun." As soon as the young man saw Zi Yun, a smile appeared on his face, "You haven’t forgotten your Brother Qi Yan, have you?"

Zi Yun, dressed in a purple robe, with long hair black as ink cascading down, was indeed a woman of great temperament. Zi Yun smiled lightly, "How could I forget Qi Yan, Big Brother? I didn’t expect that in just a million years, Big Brother Qi Yan has climbed to this position in Black Dragon Pond."

"Little Yun, you don’t need to pay taxes," Liu Qiyan said cheerfully.

Beside Zi Yun, Xing Yuan furrowed his brows as Liu Qiyan glanced at him and chuckled, "Little Yun, who is this Lower Level Divine Being? Is he a new servant your family hired?"

Servant?

Xing Yuan and Zi Yun’s expressions changed slightly.

"Little Yun, I specifically came to Fu Jue Village to collect taxes, and another reason is to ask for your hand in marriage on behalf of your parents. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts in the Divine World, and now I have also made some achievements, I trust you won’t reject me."

Liu Qiyan spoke as if Xing Yuan did not exist.

Zi Yun’s parents came forward, smiling and appearing very approachable. They looked at their daughter Zi Yun with much affection.

"Qi Yan, allowing my Zi Yun to suffer in Black Dragon Pond, that wouldn’t do," Zi Yun’s mother said.

Liu Qiyan hurriedly responded, "Auntie, you watched me grow up, and you know my feelings for Little Yun. Would I let Little Yun suffer? Over these years at Black Dragon Pond, I’ve also risen up the ranks. In the eastern district of Wei Chi City, I just bought a house. Letting Little Yun live there and enjoy life would be fortuitous."

Zi Yun’s mother’s eyes lit up immediately, and Zi Yun’s father also nodded slightly.

Liu Qiyan’s gaze immediately shifted to Zi Yun.

"That’s impossible," Zi Yun quickly said.

Liu Qiyan did not speak but looked toward Zi Yun’s mother. Sure enough—Zi Yun’s mother furrowed her brows and scolded, "Little Yun, Qi Yan, Big Brother, grew up with you. Do all those years of affection mean less to you than this Xing Yuan? He just ascended from the Lower Realm and rather than diligently cultivating, he speaks of love. What achievements can such a person have in the future?"

Xing Yuan was at a loss for words.

"Auntie, Little Yun was perhaps deceived by someone else’s honeyed words. Just having ascended from the Lower Realm and already deceived like this, such a man who eats soft rice and whose sweet talk is too good, is not to blame," Liu Qiyan earnestly said.

Zi Yun’s face turned extremely pale with anger, while Xing Yuan just coldly watched Liu Qiyan.

"Little Yun, this man is only a Lower Level Divine Being, how can he protect you? In the Divine World, anyone can easily trample over him. Such a man isn’t worth your effort," Liu Qiyan persuaded.

"I also reached the Upper Level Divine Being Realm not long ago, and although in the Divine World Upper Level Divine Beings aren’t much, I at least have the power to protect myself, and I also have the backing of the Heavenly Gods from Black Dragon Pond. At least within the territory of Wei Chi City, not many would dare to mess with anyone from Black Dragon Pond."

Liu Qiyan spoke gently, but the disdain for ’Xing Yuan’ in his words was evident to all.

The residents of Fu Jue Village also began to talk, with the vast majority agreeing with Liu Qiyan, believing Zi Yun should follow Liu Qiyan. Those supporting Xing Yuan were very few. Qin Yu and his brothers were just watching from the side.

Xing Yuan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.

But could he resist? The other party was an Upper Level Divine Being, with a small team of subordinates, most of whom were Intermediate Divine Beings. What could he, a newly ascended Lower Level Divine Being, do?

"Someone from Black Dragon Pond talking big, as if being a brigand is something glorious."

"Who?" Liu Qiyan’s expression changed, and he looked directly toward the source of the sound.

Qin Yu smiled, followed by Hou Fei and Hei Yu next to him, as the three of them walked over, "What? Am I not right? You, a mere lackey of Black Dragon Pond, are also so arrogant, it’s truly..." Qin Yu shook his head and sighed a few times as he spoke.

Liu Qiyan frowned at Qin Yu: "Who are you? I grew up in Fu Jue Village and know almost everyone here, where do you come from?"

Liu Qiyan could sense that Qin Yu’s strength was no less than his, so he was also somewhat cautious, unlike his disdain toward Xing Yuan.

"Ascender," Qin Yu smiled, "a Divine Being who just ascended a little over a thousand years ago, so what?"

"Little Yun, you come home with me," Zi Yun’s mother suddenly said with a frown.

Qin Yu immediately bowed slightly to Zi Yun’s mother and said, "Aunt, I am Xing Yuan’s good friend. Xing Yuan, Brother, found a precious medicinal herb called ’White Grass’ in the desolate area a few days ago. I also have some connections in Wei Chi City; I just sold this White Grass and received three million Low Grade Divine Spirit Stones. I haven’t had the chance to give them to Xing Yuan, Brother, yet."

With a flip of his hand, a bag appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"Storage Divine Artifact?" Seeing this, Zi Yun’s parents and Liu Qiyan, among others, had their eyes wide open.

Liu Qiyan was even more astounded inside: "Ascended a thousand plus years, Upper Level Divine Being? Storage Divine Artifact? Has channels for selling herbs in Wei Chi City? What background does this guy have?"

He, Liu Qiyan, was merely a low-level lackey in Black Dragon Pond, and he knew that Lord Black Dragon would not confront some influential people for his sake.

"Xing Yuan, Brother, why are you dazed? You gave me the White Grass, I sold it, and naturally, I have to settle accounts, here are three hundred blocks of Upper Grade Divine Spiritual Stones, make sure you count them," Qin Yu urged.

Xing Yuan also came to his senses and immediately said, "Brother Qin Yu, thank you so much. I’m just surprised that the White Grass sold for such a high price." He extended his hand to receive the bag, and upon opening it for a quick look, Xing Yuan, despite his composure, couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

"Brother Xing Yuan, let me have a look," Zi Yun was extremely excited and quickly opened the bag to inspect it. Her parents’ objection to her relationship with Xing Yuan was still not due to the house.

Xing Yuan looked up excitedly at Qin Yu and his brothers, only to see Qin Yu and his brothers giving him a wink.
